No. No they don’t.

Vaccines might be a tool, but the real healing for people (as opposed to the real weapon against COVID) will be to wake up and figure out how to come into better balance with personal health choices, a healthy food system that doesn’t poison all of us, and an ecological policy that doesn’t destroy the habitats of nature.

I’m so dismayed by the myopic and obsessive focus on the vaccine.

Why can’t we talk about ways to protect yourself from the worst effects of the virus by moving towards better overall health? And why can’t we get on board with a program that will make this choice an option for EVERYONE regardless of how much money or education they have or don’t have?

What’s going to happen with the next zoonotic virus? What’s going to happen with other serious potential health threats in the future?

If masks and vaccines are our ONLY answer to these threats, rather than temporary measures, then our collective resilience will continue to wane and we are all screwed.

At least that’s the way it feels to me.
